Os cegos e o elefante é uma história originária da Índia, de onde se difundiu. É a história de um grupo de cegos que toca um elefante para aprender como que ele se parece. Cada um toca uma parte diferente do outro e quando comparam suas impressões notam que estão em completo desacordo.
The story of the blind men and an elephant originated in the Indian subcontinent from where it has widely diffused. It is a story of a group of blind men (or men in the dark) who touch an elephant to learn what it is like. Each one feels a different part, but only one part, such as the side or the tusk. They then compare notes and learn that they are in complete disagreement.
It is a parable that has crossed between many religious traditions and is part of Jain, Buddhist, Sufi, Hindu and Bahá’í lore. The tale later became well known in Europe, with 19th century American poet John Godfrey Saxe creating his own version as a poem.[1] The story has been published in many books for adults and children, and interpreted in a variety of ways.
